Battle Through the Heavens: His comprehension is extraordinary, shocking Yao Lao from the very begin

Chapter 27 Hot Spring Xiao Yu

More than half an hour later, a small mountain of medicinal herbs and demon cores appeared in front of Xiao Yan.

Beside the medicinal herbs was a pile of gold coins, which looked to be several thousand.

"No wonder they say murder and arson bring wealth..." Xiao Yan shook his head with a wry smile. "Just taking down a mercenary squad earned me nearly 20,000 gold coins, which is more than the monthly income of Xiao Family Market."

Yao Lao was still studying Xiao Yan's newly created fighting technique. After observing it for a long time, he said regretfully, "If your fighting spirit weren't so weak, the power of this fighting technique could be even stronger!"

Looking at the deep ravines that stretched several meters across the earth, Yao Lao seemed to still see that move that seemed to radiate brilliant starlight before his eyes.

With a single blow, the once indestructible rock crystal fist shattered instantly, and even Hermon, who cultivated rock battle qi, was split in two.

The burst of energy caught the five mercenaries completely off guard.

Six absolutely formidable fighters died almost without a sound; that's truly astounding.

This fighting technique requires a high degree of concentration of strength and fighting spirit. Xiao Yan's execution was extremely precise and impeccable, which is truly rare.

Generally speaking, it is quite good if a fighting technique can make someone exert a level of strength several times higher than one's own. Xiao Yan's Stellar Transformation: Wolf Fang Breaking the Sky was an improvement that Yao Lao had almost never seen in his life.

This fighting technique is difficult to rank; it's somewhat like a secret method that highly condenses power and fighting spirit.

As Xiao Yan's strength increased, his ability to use the technique again was still comparable to that of a Ground-Rank fighting skill.

Hearing Yao Lao's regretful words, Xiao Yan smiled and shook his head: "This is only temporary. My Dou Qi will improve sooner or later."

"That's true." Shifting his gaze from the ravine, Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan, still marveling at his appearance.

When an ordinary person obtains a fighting technique, Xiao Yan, this little guy, frequently comes up with new ideas. At first, he was just refining the Eight Extremes Collapse, which was fine, but now he has extended it to the Xuan Heavy Ruler. He truly understands by analogy!

After a cursory glance at Xiao Yan's gains, Yao Lao said, "He's still missing a second-tier fire-attribute magic core."

"It's not bad at all." Xiao Yan waved his hand and pointed to the pile of gold coins. "With this money, it's not difficult to buy a second-tier fire attribute magic core."

"You little rascal, you sure know how to slack off..." The old doctor smiled slightly.

Originally, he planned to let Xiao Yan, this rich young master, cultivate in the Monster Mountain Range for a few months, so that he could not only master his fighting skills but also temper his character.

However, Xiao Yan's comprehension in combat techniques was too strong. If he continued to cultivate like this, his fighting spirit would not be enough to support the combat techniques he could create.

After glancing at the Vitality Fruit and Blood Clotting Grass among the medicinal herbs in the small mountain, Yao Lao's heart stirred. His comprehension of combat skills was strong, but that did not mean that he could be so heaven-defying in medicine making.

Having an alchemist qualification is just the beginning of alchemy; one needs countless medicinal herbs and alchemy processes to gain experience.

The old apothecary pondered for a moment and said, "Go to the auction house. You are now a Dou Zhe, and you can refine medicine with your own Dou Qi. It's time to teach you the art of medicine refining."

"Become an alchemist! Now?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Yan was somewhat taken aback; he hadn't had his fill yet.

"We can't rely on this old man forever, can we?"

Xiao Yan chuckled and rubbed his hands together: "Teacher, the medicine cauldrons used by alchemists are extremely valuable, and this disciple cannot afford them."

Seeing Xiao Yan's sly expression, Yao Lao said helplessly, "Don't worry, since you're my disciple, I'll definitely prepare this for you. I'll also let you experience some real alchemy skills!"

With a wave of his hand, Yao Lao put the large pile of things on the ground into his Bone Flame Ring. He then placed his hand on Xiao Yan's shoulder, and a ripple appeared in the space around them. They suddenly disappeared from the camp and returned to the back mountain of the Xiao family in the blink of an eye.

Without Xiao Yan's continuous supply of Dou Qi over the past few years, Yao Lao would have had an extremely difficult time restoring his soul power to such a degree.

Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings, and not having returned to the original spot, Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "Teacher, have you gone astray? Is this the back mountain of our Xiao family?"

"You little rascal, don't you even know your own home?" The old apothecary slowly returned to the Bone Flame Ring. "Pack up, then head to the auction house in your Wutan City."

Xiao Yan shrugged and muttered, "It's all because someone has been absorbing my Dou Qi, and I've been spending most of my time cultivating."

After returning to the ring, Yao Lao fell silent and did not react.

With a sigh, Xiao Yan walked forward. Fortunately, the back mountain wasn't very big, and finding the way wouldn't take too long.

As they walked, the surrounding air suddenly became humid, and Xiao Yan, who had been using his soul perception to explore the way, perked up.

"Cousin Xiao... Cousin Xiao Yu!"

Xiao Yan then realized that he had unknowingly wandered to the vicinity of a hot spring located behind the Xiao family's mountain.

"I can ask for directions." Xiao Yan nodded emphatically in agreement, crouching low and silently disappearing into the bushes, his dark eyes unusually focused.

In a pool not far away, a stunningly beautiful girl in a swimsuit is bathing.

Her jet-black hair was wet and draped over her shoulders, which were so smooth and rounded that they could make even the most beautiful jade pale in comparison.

The young girl cupped her hands and gently wiped her shapely, long legs with water. These sexy legs were something even the alluring and charming Ya Fei did not possess.

As the young master of the Xiao family, Xiao Yan had naturally visited the largest auction house in Wutan City, Mitel Auction House, many times, and inevitably compared him with the enchanting Ya Fei who captivated Wutan City.

At this time, Xiao Yu was still young, and it was hard to imagine how alluring her legs would be a few years later.

A moment later, Xiao Yu slowly walked out of the hot spring, wiped herself off, and changed into a light blue undergarment.

The light blue bodice clung tightly to Xiao Yu's skin, outlining her graceful figure.

The bib is embroidered with a white crane, so lifelike that it seems ready to leap up at any moment.

Wearing this bodice, Xiao Yu's skin appeared even whiter and more delicate, captivating all who saw her.

As she was tying the silk ribbon, Xiao Yu's beautiful eyes suddenly caught sight of a black object, and her pupils immediately contracted.

"Who's there!"

Xiao Yu nervously covered her bodice and shouted sharply.

Xiao Yan was startled: "I've been discovered? How is that possible!"

Immediately, Xiao Yan suddenly remembered that he was carrying a Xuanzhong Ruler on his back.

"I never expected this thing to betray me!" Xiao Yan cursed inwardly, while a thought suddenly occurred to him.

"Run! There's a monster!" Xiao Yan suddenly jumped out of the bushes and ran towards Xiao Yu, calling out.

Upon seeing that it was Xiao Yan, Xiao Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yan was too fast; in just a breath or two, he arrived in front of Xiao Yu, grabbed her delicate wrist, and tried to escape with her.

"Where are the magical beasts?" Xiao Yu asked, pulling her hand away forcefully, slightly puzzled.

Although the back mountain is next to the Monster Mountain Range, the Xiao family has lived here for many years and has never heard of monsters appearing in the back mountain!

Xiao Yu was far weaker than Xiao Yan. With this sudden exertion, he lost his balance, slipped, and the two of them fell into the hot spring together.

The hot spring water splashed everywhere, eliciting a gasp of surprise.
